“…In RF electronic hardware designs, power losses incurred in components and interconnects need to be minimized, as these losses directly define the quality of the end-product. At mm-wave frequency, inkjet printed interconnects have been found to outperform conventional RF ribbon-bond interconnects, as reported by Eid et al [83] and shown in Figure 8a. The printed interconnects incur less losses at mm-wave frequency and generally are closer to a continuous transmission line than the ribbon-bond interconnects.…”

“…Recently, Lin et al [86] presented a package-integrated mm-wave 5G energy harvester fabricated with 3D-printing and inkjet printing technologies. As discussed by Eid et al [83], these system-on-package energy harvesters could be also designed to harvest other forms of energy, such as solar and vibration energy. The capability of harvesting energy from the environment would allow greater autonomy of various electronic devices compared to their battery powered variants.…”

“…Inkjet printing, a subset of additive manufacturing, operates based on a Drop on Demand concept, where the ink is disposed onto the substrate using an ink cartridge consisting of an array of nozzles with individual piezoelectric elements. Combined in one system, inkjet and 3D printing enable the development of smart heterogeneous architectures involving antennas, RF/mm-wave circuits, interconnects, sensors, microfluidic channels and more [9], [10].…”

“…In this case, the manual fabrication process is durable and accurate enough for this proof-of-concept demonstration. To further improve the fabrication process, the 4D hybrid printing process has been studied in recent years [4, 25]; 4D printing can be a faster and more accurate way to manufacture a scalable and durable eggbox FSS.…”

Shape-changing mechanical metamaterials have drawn the attention of researchers toward the development of continuous-range tunable frequency selective surfaces (FSSs). In this paper, a novel tunable FSS utilizing an origami-inspired “eggbox” structure is presented featuring four-degrees of freedom that can change the frequency response of two orthogonal linear polarizations. The centrosymmetric “eggbox” structure can be folded or rotated along two axes that lead to unprecedented reconfigurability compared to traditional Miura-Ori-based structures which have fewer degrees of control. The utilized cross-shaped dipole FSS element shows enhanced bandwidth, support for orthogonal linear polarization, and ease of fabrication. The prototype is fabricated using a low-cost fully additive inkjet printing process with silver nanoparticle conductive ink. The outcome of this study shows a 25% frequency tunable range over two polarization directions. The design can be an ideal spatial filtering candidate for advanced ultra-wideband terrestrial and space applications.
